East 59th in Victoria Gate is a New York inspired loft restaurant with spectacular views and even better food and drink.
We all love a bottomless brunch, and Leeds has loads of them. But do many of them offer free flowing Bloody Marys for a whopping 90 minutes?
East 59th are offering this and more. Every Saturday and Sunday between 11 - 4pm, you can devour a two course meal consisting of a brunch dish and dessert of your choice and for an extra £20 per head you can have free-flowing prosecco or Bloody Marys for 90 minutes.

Step onto their trendy rooftop which is carpeted with astroturf, decked out with funky wooden furniture and covered with leafy foliage. Overlooking a panoramic view of Leeds city centre, you'll easily mistake it for the Manhattan skyline in this New York themed haven.
Standouts on the brunch menu include the Lobster Frites which is exactly what it says on the tin; a half pound lobster served with crispy fries and complete with a truffle mayo dip.
Breakfast classics such as Eggs Florentine and Bacon and Eggs with crispy hash browns are available however, if you're going to East 59th you can't miss out on their infamous cheeseburger with smoked Applewood bacon and all the trimmings.

And it doesn't just stop there, there's a small but mighty dessert menu which will be hard to resist. Think Banoffee Pie, Double Chocolate Brownie and Strawberry Cheesecake.
If you're a bit too full after your main, you can just get a Knickerbocker Glory for the table to share.
The vibes on this rooftop are off the charts, with fantastic views, pumping music and food you'll be dreaming about days after. We can guarantee you'll come for the brunch and stick around to party as the sun goes down.

Viral brunch cafe Acai and the Tribe is coming to Leeds city centre this spring
Leeds health nuts assemble, because acai bowls and superfood smoothies are coming to a city near you.
Incase you've been living under a rock for the past year or so, you may not be clued up on the whole acai bowl trend that has been sweeping up the nation.
Acai is a super berry grown and harvested in the Amazon rainforest, and not only is it absolutely delicious but it has a myriad of health benefits.
Acai and the Tribe first opened four years ago in Manchester, and ever since then it's only gone from strength to strength opening up three other locations across the country.

Next stop? Leeds. And we couldn't be happier about it.
So, what can we expect from this aesthetically-pleasing and ultra trendy female-owned business? Well, loaded acai bowls that look almost too good to eat, superfood smoothies, coffees, matcha and savoury options like avocado toast.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Acai and the Tribe said: "You asked, we listened. LEEDS… your new lifestyle arrives soon."
They will be opening on 88 Vicar Lane as part of the Vicar Lane regeneration scheme, which has already scene some great new restaurants being announced such as Sticks'n'Sushi and Dishoom.
It seems like this part of town is suddenly going to be the place to be, and we're very happy to see it.
We'll keep you updated with opening dates as and when we know more but for now, you can find out more about Acai and the Tribe here.
Leeds has been crowned the best city in the UK for foodies outside of London
Clementine Hall
It's fantastic news for our city as Leeds has been crowned one of the best cities in the UK for foodies.
It's news that we've been pretty certain of for some time, but it's still nice to be recognised isn't it?
It comes from a new study carried out by credit card brand Aqua who analysed 30 major UK cities across a range of dining and social media metrics, including cuisine variety, restaurant availability, meal affordability, Michelin recognition and TikTok hashtag volumes.
Coming in at number on was, of course, London.

With 47 cuisines, 22.5 restaurants per 10,000 residents and 81 Michelin-starred establishments, the capital unsurprisingly continues to dominate the UK’s culinary scene.
But in at number two was our glorious city of Leeds, supported by the highest restaurant density in the study, with 38.5 establishments per 10,000 people, and strong affordability compared with cities in the south.

We will absolutely take that.
Other northern spots to feature on the list include Sheffield and Bradford in sixth and eighth place.
The top ten UK cities for foodies are:
London
Leeds
Nottingham
Edinburgh
Wolverhampton / Leicester
Sheffield
Birmingham / Glasgow
Bradford / Swansea
Preston
Milton Keynes
Here in Leeds we've got so many fabulous food spots, with new openings cropping up every month it's hard to keep track.
From the multi award-winning Bavette Bistro in Horsforth to the highly acclaimed indie Bundobust that started off in Leeds - you certainly won't find yourself hungry or at a loss for somewhere to eat here.
